Arrowsmith

"Throughout countless wars and generations of conflict, the steady rhythm of archers reaching behind them to draw their next arrow has become a symbol of hope and danger alike. In the chaos of battle, it is often a single, well-placed shot that turns the tide of war. Behind these moments of victory stands the subtle but critical work of the Arrowsmiths. Their role may be quiet and unseen on the battlefield, but the fate of armies often rests on the precision and adaptability of their work. The bond between Arrowsmith and archer is sacred; one provides the tool, the other delivers its deadly message."

The Arrowsmith is a unique support role specializing in the rapid crafting and distribution of custom arrows mid-combat. While not primarily a fighter, the Arrowsmith can supply powerful specialized arrows to nearby allies (or themselves) to turn the tide of battle. At camp, they provide economic value by producing standard arrows at half the normal cost, making them invaluable in prolonged campaigns. The Arrowsmith holds a Realm Quiver, a quiver on their backs that can hold a storage of an unlimited supply of arrows and conjure them mid-battle.

Abilities:

Battlefield Craft – During battle, you use an action point to craft an arrow of your choice and choose to either supply a teammate with it, or fire the arrow yourself with your fairly weak attack magic. Choosing to fire the arrow yourself will halve it's damage and stats but can prove to be a quick attack if needed.

Special Arrow Examples:

Fire Arrow – Sets opponent on fire

Explosive Fire Arrow – Explodes in fire

Piercing Arrow – Ignores armor. If enemy is unarmored, the arrow will pass by them and hit anything behind them.

Shatter Arrow – Does higher damage to structures and environment

Thunder Arrow – Deals an explosion of electricty

Ice Arrow – Shatters in sharp icycles.

Tracker Arrow – Marks target, target has advantage from all attacks for 2 turns.

Quick Hand-Off – You use a bonus action to grant a teammate an arrow you've crafted before and hold in your quiver.

Arrow Savant (Reaction) - If an enemy uses a special arrow at any time, you may use this reaction to use a magic that duplicates their arrow and stores it in your quiver.

Ultimate Ability – Masterful Quiver – You enter a state of heightened focus. For the next 3 turns, you may craft two arrows in one turn, and you automatically fire a ghost duplicate of crafted arrows at a chosen enemy. Crafted arrows during these turns will deal increased damage and can ricochet between enemies.
